Pocket Tanks
IP-to-IP Internet game activation:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file;
create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Also, run
the game first to have it create its directories and files. In
v1.3, use a text editor to edit the "pt.cfg" file in
the "/My Documents/My Games/Pocket Tanks Deluxe" directory.
Change the value of the "NetworkIPSupport" line from
"0" to "1". The result should be an option
for "IP-to-IP Internet Game" in LAN Game mode.

Hint: Bouncy Dirt and Fission Bomb combo:
Cover one side of the interior of a large crater with
Bouncy Dirt and hit the tank with a Fission Bomb while it is at
the bottom of the hole. Note: Try using Mountain Movers and Crater
Makers.

Hint: Flying Digger combos:
This works best when your opponent is on a high platform
and does not have any jump weapons or dirt removers. Hit the opponent
with a Flying Digger, then Bouncy Dirt, then a Popcorn. If the
Flying Digger takes out all the dirt from under the opponent,
a Bouncy Wall can be substituted for Bouncy Dirt.

The following combo also works best when your opponent has no
dirt removers. Hit the opponent with a Flying Digger. Seal your
opponent in with dirt. Shoot Gamma Blasters, X-Ray Cannons, Drillers,
and/or Super Lasers directly toward the opponent. Note: Practice
is required to land a Super Laser; you must set the angle precisely.

Hint: Pile Driver and Hailstorm combo:
Hit the tank with a Pile Driver followed by a Hailstorm
(or Napalm).
Hint: Ground Shocker and Popcorn combo:
Fire a Ground Shocker directly below your opponent's
tank to make the ground very rough. Then, fire a Popcorn nearby
and the bullets will bounce and multiply.
Hint: Flying Digger and Sunburn combo:
Hit your enemy with a Flying Digger in fairly deep
dirt if possible. Then, on your next turn, drop a Sunburn into
the hole and watch your score rise.

Hint: Porcupine Laser and Ground Shocker
combo:
This is worth 50 points and must be done directly on
top of the PC.

Hint: Pineapple and Firestorm combo:
Use a Pineapple with a Fire Storm for 74 points.

Hint: Funnel and Pin Cushion combo:
Aim for a direct hit and fire the Funnel. It will create
a funnel of bouncy dirt and trap your opponent. On your next turn,
fire a Pin Cushion directly into the funnel. All of the Zappers
will bounce off the walls of the funnel and hit your opponent.
This combo does about 200 damage.

Hint: Hide underground:
Fire a Digger at a steep angle so your tank slides
down into the ground. Use a dirt weapon to seal yourself in.
Hint: Easy points:
The easiest way to get over 100 points is to shoot
a cannon ball on a mountain so that it rolls downward and hits
him.
Darren C. Sutton.
If you are on a valley or on the other side of a mountain, set
the angle diagonally upward toward your opponent, set the power
to 80, and use a Turn & Burn. If done correctly, you should
now be near your opponent. Fire an X-Ray Cannon, Gamma Blaster,
Lodestones, Laser (or Super Laser), Bazooka, Late Bloomer, Minigun,
or Potholes directly toward your opponent at a high power. You
will get massive points by doing this. Also, if your opponent's
weapons have too big of a blast, or something that fires particles
bound to hit the opponent as well as you, it is going to be difficult
for that opponent to gain points. Or, after getting next to your
opponent, if you have any dirt weapons (Dirtball, Big Dirtball,
Dirt Slinger, Rainbow Dirt, Mud Pie, Tar Ball, etc., preferably
Cruball or Mud Pie), and your opponent has nothing to safely remove
the dirt, use them. Then, fire any weapons that go through dirt.
If you hit the opponent with Flower Power, X-Ray Cannon, and/or
Gamma Blaster, you will get a massive number points. Also, not
only will your opponent not be able to attack under dirt, but
he will have to blast his own points away to get out of the trap.

Hint: Easy wins:
At the Weapon Shop, if a Digger appears, get it. Also,
get as many underground weapons as you can (for example, Worm,
Homing Worm, Hotfoot, etc.). When the battle starts, fire every
weapon except for the Digger or underground weapons. Then, select
the Digger and change the angle of the shot so that it goes diagonally
into the ground. On your next turn, move into the underground
tunnel and start firing your underground weapons. Your enemy cannot
hit you because you are underground, but you can still hit your
enemy.

Hint: Unlimited movement:
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can select
"Move" and move for any distance to the left or right
by scrolling up or down.

Hint: Use the same weapon multiple times:
This can be used to choose the weapon the CPU or human
opponent uses, if he or she is unaware. You can also use the same
weapon repeatedly. First, click the weapon box to bring up the
list, then move to a weapon that you want to fire so that it is
blinking yellow. Then press [Space] to fire. It will keep
the menu up, but launch the weapon you highlighted. Next, move
to a different weapon. It will take that weapon instead of the
fired one. If you keep the list up, it will stay up while the
computer is taking his turn. You can move the list to a weapon
you want him to fire. Note: The weapon in the CPU's list that
is solid yellow is the one it will fire if you take too long.

Hint: Gamma Blaster, Super Laser, X-Ray
Cannon:
Firing these weapons into the air will not work. You
must shoot them directly toward your opponent. Getting the Super
Laser to hit may require some practice. These weapons will "dig"
past the ground and hit the opponent.
LinkinParkR0x0rs.
Hint: Super Star:
If little or no dirt is under your opponent, the Super
Star will not do optimal damage. However, if your opponent is
on a high dirt platform, the Super Star will do massive damage.
This weapon is perfect for when your opponent uses a Pedestal.
